Ahem, love. I haven't yet fully grasped why some commands behave different as they do when from dom0, compared to when same command is executed inside the AppVM. For example the bash example above. But I imagine, grasping this difference, one can probably execute anything from dom0. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

I do something very similar for my QubesTV setup that I'm working on polishing, which works on scripts too, like we're doing here. The command may have to be adjusted a bit, but in general, it should work, even without xclip in dom0. Actually, I'd go as far as to say it should most definitely work for xclip, while my scripts here are different, I've done it enough to tell it can work if modified correctly. Either way, try awokd's command out, it will definitely work in one variant or different. The question is if require a bit of modification. For example, maybe use "qvm-run AppVM bash 'command to execute inside AppVM -o etc. lalala'" instead of say, "qvm-run AppVM gnome-terminal -e 'command to execute inside AppVM -o etc. lalala'". For example I've seen a case where one when executed inside the AppVM, will open the executed QubesTV streaming link in the same browser, same tab, while the very same command inserted into the AppVM from dom0, would open up a whole new instance of Firefox, and thereby open a new window. Which, needless to say, doesn't work. The solution was to use bash for already running firefox, so that it won't start a new firefox instance. Hopefully you can use any of this to make qvm-run appvm "command" work. In terms of security, I'm in the same boat, I can't say for sure. But I agree with the notion, that it "probably"? is secure due to the one direction flow of data. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Hello awokd, Original-Nachricht An 17. Feb. 2018, 23:41, 'awokd' via qubes-users schrieb: > Can't really find a man page for xclip. What > happens when you run this in dom0? xclip doesn't have to be present in dom0 as the command is only used in the AppVM. As such you might need to install it in your template VM. In dom0 you are only using gnome-screenshot to make the screenshot. If it is not available in dom0 you can install it via qubes-dom0-update gnome-screenshot or use any other existing sxreenshot-app which is available in your dom0 and offers the option to safe screenshots directly to file. Question regarding security: As far as I can tell I don't think that the suggested solution to transfer screenshots to an AppVM offers a great security risk as the data is only flowing from (!) dom0 to your AppVM and the graphic file is creating in dom0. But as I am far away from being a security expert, I'd like to hear a more qualified feedback if working with this script might be a bad idea.
